2. Learning Objectives: At the end of the lesson, students will be able to: Define persuasive text and state its purpose. Identify and describe the four common persuasive text structures: Problem–Solution, Cause–Effect, Compare–Contrast, and Chronological Order. Analyze a short persuasive passage to determine which structure is used and explain how it clarifies meaning.

9. Common Persuasive Text Structures with signal words P roblem–Solution Cause–Effect Compare–Contrast Chronological Order

10. 1. Problem–Solution Structure What it is: You start by describing a problem, then give one or more solutions Why it persuades: People see the problem clearly and feel ready to act when you offer a fix/solution Example: Our classroom floor is always messy after lunch. To solve this, we can start a ‘Clean-As-You-Go’ rule and assign a rotating clean-up team every week.” Signal words: problem, issue, challenge, to solve this, the answer is, one solution, therefore, to address this.

11. 2. Cause–Effect Structure What it is: You explain the reason something happens (the cause) and what results from it (the effect). Why it persuades: When readers understand the link between actions and results, they see why change matters. Example: Because many classmates throw candy wrappers on the floor, our classroom looks messy and starts to smell. As a result, we feel uncomfortable and sometimes even get ants crawling around. If everyone simply puts trash in the bin, our room will stay clean and fresh all day. Signal words: because, as a result, if, will.

12. 3. Compare–Contrast Structure What it is: You show how two or more things are alike and different, then explain which one is better. Why it persuades: Readers can weigh options and agree with your choice. Example: Both chips and fresh fruit make quick snacks, but fruit is the healthier and smarter choice. Unlike chips, fruit has vitamins and natural sweetness without the extra salt and oil. That’s why grabbing an apple or a banana is a better snack when you need energy for class. Signal words : both, but, unlike, that’s why, better choice.

13. 4. Chronological Order Structure What it is: You arrange events or ideas in time order to show how something has developed or will happen. Why it persuades: It helps the reader see a process or a timeline of change that supports your argument. Example: First, the class officers listed all the cleaning tasks for our classroom. Next, they divided the jobs—like sweeping, wiping the windows, and arranging the chairs—among the team. After that, they reminded everyone to bring cleaning cloths on Friday. Finally, we all worked together after class and made the room neat and fresh. If we follow these steps every week, our classroom will stay clean and welcoming. Signal words: first, next, after that, finally.

14. By group (4 groups) Directions: Read the short persuasive passage. Highlight or list the signal words and identify the structure.

15. In your own moral perspective: How can these structures help us convince people to do something good without spreading fake news? or How can we use these structures to support positive actions, like helping our school or nature, and not to fool people?

16. Individual output: Instructions: Pick or choose one of the four persuasive text structures and create a brief persuasive outline consists of 3-5 sentences on a topic of your choice, using signal words. Draft and share your mini-outline with your seatmate for peer feedback. Read your output in front of the class (representative only) See rubrics for your guide on how you will be graded.

17. Exit Ticket- Answer the following questions: 1. What is a persuasive text and its function? 2. What are the four persuasive text structures? 3. Give at least one signal word for each persuasive texts structure.
